The article focuses on the debate in the social sciences and the humanities
about the evaluation of research through bibliometric indicators.
Many scholars call into question the validity of bibliometric indicators
for social sciences and the reliability of the databases, but there are
few empirical studies that have sought to verify the real impact of this
state of things in the Italian context. After reviewing the national and international
debate, the case at the center of the analysis - an academic
department based in Milan - is introduced. A proposal for conceptualizing
scientific production is advanced and data sources and indicators
used to put this conceptualization into practice are described. Data analysis
aims to highlight the strengths and limitations of bibliometric indicators
for the social sciences, as well as to study the reliability and validity
of the proposed indices: simple analytical tools will be used to try
to maintain a balance with information capacity of the collected data
that is somewhat limited (since it is a local case). In conclusion it is argued
that the problem is not only the insufficient coverage of the literature
of social sciences from the available data sources, but also the inadequate
conceptualization of scientific production.Ferruccio Biolcati Rinaldi201210.1424/3796410.1424/37964https://www.rivisteweb.it/doi/10.1424/379642171202L'allocazione dei ministeri nei governi di coalizione: il caso italiano tra Prima e Seconda Repubblicahttps://www.rivisteweb.it/doi/10.1424/37965
One of the first things parties entering a government coalition do is
to decide how they will share the ministerial offices among themselves.
Without reaching agreement on this issue, no coalition can take office.
For this reason, it is easy to understand why portfolio allocation is so
important. In this respect, this paper tries to highlight the differences it
is possible to notice if we compare the First and the Second Italian Republic.
I hypothesize that those differences depend upon the transformations
characterizing the electoral system and the partisan system.
More in details, the bargaining environment complexity has increased,
and this, in turn, has decreased the proportionality between parties' seats
percentages and portfolio allocation. In the Second Italian Republic
(much more than in the First one), one of the most important resources
at parties' disposal has become their own bargaining power.Andrea Pritoni201210.1424/3796510.1424/37965https://www.rivisteweb.it/doi/10.1424/379653203226Crescere alle Vallette. Una ricerca sulla riproduzione delle diseguaglianze sociali tra i figli degli immigrati meridionali a Torinohttps://www.rivisteweb.it/doi/10.1424/37966
Research on social mobility in Italy has shown that social class has
been, and still is, a crucial factor conditioning individual opportunities
in the field of schooling and work. This article draws upon thirty life
stories of middle and working-class people with the same social background.
They were born in Turin during the Italian "economic miracle"
from working-class-Southern Italian families. By analysing their life
stories, the aim of this article is to reflect upon some of the mechanisms
that have made intergenerational social mobility particularly difficult for
the offspring of immigrants workers in the city of Turin during decades
of extraordinary expansion of educational and working opportunities. It
is shown how subjects position within the social and urban space, as
well as their migratory background, produced a specific configuration of
economic, cultural and social resources available to them. These resources
were intertwined with processes of social identification and
stigmatization showing how, in the context studied, early school leaving and working-class jobs were commonly seen as «natural» and unproblematic life choices.Marco Romito201210.1424/3796610.1424/37966https://www.rivisteweb.it/doi/10.1424/379664227254Attivisti di partito nella Lega Nord: un caso anomalo?https://www.rivisteweb.it/doi/10.1424/37967
The radical changes that, also in Italy, have affected the political parties,
significantly influenced the intensity and the characteristics of the
linkage between members and their reference political organizations. A
survey carried out in 2011 on a large sample of leghisti activists has allowed
us to examine the forms of participation, but also the political attitudes
and the ideological dimension of a crucial component of the Carroccio.
A party that, probably more than others in the recent years in Italy,
has exploited the «communication with the base» as a rhetoric of its
political action.
Our study highlights how Ln's members are in fact rooted in a dense
network of activities and participate regularly to the political life of the
organization, exhibiting at the same time a composite political profile
and positions.Gianluca Passarelli, Dario Tuorto201210.1424/3796710.1424/37967https://www.rivisteweb.it/doi/10.1424/379675255286Piero Ignazi rilegge: Maurice Duverger (1951) Les partis politiqueshttps://www.rivisteweb.it/doi/10.1424/37968
